BS Accountancy, BS Computer Science, and BA Media Arts programs complete external QA assessment

06 September 2025

In line with UP Tacloban’s commitment to academic excellence, three additional undergraduate programs of the college underwent an external quality assurance (EQA) assessment on 2-4 September 2025. The BS Accountancy program of the Division of Management, the BS Computer Science program of the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the BA Media Arts program of the Division of Humanities went through an EQA Type B assessment, in which reviewers from another UP constituent university thoroughly evaluate a degree program’s curriculum structure, instructional strategies, and overall program implementation based on the ASEAN University Network (AUN) QA criteria.

The external QA reviewers for the BS Accountancy program were Dr. Santos Jose O. Dacanay III from the Institute of Management, College of Social Sciences, UP Baguio and Dr. Mae Grace G. Nillos from the Institute of Aquaculture, College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, UP Visayas. The BS Computer Science program was assessed by Dr. Corazon L. Abansi from the Institute of Management, College of Social Sciences, UP Baguio and Dr. Ian Kendrich C. Fontanilla from the Institute of Biology, College of Science, UP Diliman. Meanwhile, the BA Media Arts program was evaluated by Dr. Evangeline C. Amor from the Institute of Chemistry, College of Science, UP Diliman and Dr. Geofe O. Cadiz from the Department of Biology and Environmental Science, College of Science, UP Cebu.

The reviewers also inspected college and program facilities. The EQA findings will guide ongoing efforts to enhance program quality and relevance. To date, a total of five UPTC undergraduate programs have undergone an external QA assessment.
